    Description

      For applications that take advantage of the certificate store generation feature, there may be a need for the client's to obtain truststores and, optionally, keystores to successfully communicate via SSL to the server-side application components.

      One possible approach is a CLI option:

      slider ssl-support --keystore <path for generated file> --subj <DN for client>

      Some key points:

      1) Could use the localhost from where the client is invoked to create the subject DN (CN=<localhost name>) if no subject is specified

      2) For clients to access these stores they will need access to store passwords. I believe it's be most appropriate to leverage the Credential Provider facility.
